I'm trying to create a python package with the following python setup.py bdist_wheel. The wheel file is generated under my_py_lib-0.0.2.dev19-py2.py3-none-any.whl. The semantic version is appearing as 0.0.2.dev19. However the dev19 is also appearing. How do i remove this value if dev19 ?
Relevant files are given below
setup.py file below
import setuptools
setuptools.setup(
setup_requires=['pbr>=1.9', 'setuptools>=17.1'],
pbr=True
)
setup.cfg file's relevant sections below
[metadata]
name = my-py-lib
version = 0.0.2
author = My Name
author_email = [email protected]
summary = tbd
description_file = README.md
license = Apache-2
home_page = https://git-loc.tbd/group/my-py-lib
classifiers =

It turns out that the pbr uses the latest git tag to determine the version number. In my original project, I did not have a git tag and as a result the value of version = 0.0.2 from the setup.cfg was being used and 0.0.2.dev19 was created.
Now, I'd created a git tag with command. git tag v0.0.2
After creation of the .devM tag is removed and the semantic version mentioned in the git tag is considered. The value in [metadata] of setup.cfg section is commented out. The version is directly picked up from the semantic version tag.
